Applying to University College Dublin
Applications are made through the university’s own admissions channel, or through a national application platform where Ireland operates one. Undergraduate applications are handled centrally by the Central Applications Office, but the CAO directs applicants without an Irish Leaving Certificate or QQI FET award to contact the institution first, so international applicants should confirm their route with the institution before applying. Postgraduate applications are generally made directly to the university or college. Confirm which applies to your level and qualification with the institution's international office.
Entry requirements, tuition fees, application deadlines and English-language minimums differ by course and change every year. We do not republish them here, because an out-of-date figure is worse than none — read them on the university’s admissions pages before you apply.
